CustomEmotes

Note: This AddOn is not currently being updated. It should still work overall (probably until Cataclysm changes a lot of things). Unfortunately I have not been playing WoW as regularly and I do not have the time to update my AddOns. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]

This AddOn provides additional emotes and pull warnings. It was created due to my wife's and my desire to have many more emotes at our fingertips, especially some based on our favorite movies. We think you will enjoy delighting and harassing your friends and guildmates with such classic emotes as:

Wikwocket has the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! Soon, he will lobbest the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards their foe, who, being naughty in their sight, shall snuff it.

Wikwocket is the prettiest member of the Fellowship.

Wikwocket thinks we'd better split up. We can do more damage that way.

And of course:

Wikwocket is never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

These macros can be activated through a small smiley-face button, which appears near the chatbox by default, but is freely draggable. Clicking it will open the menus of emotes and pull warnings. As you hover over each emote, a tooltip should appear to show you what the emote will look like, both with and without a target, since many emotes will use a target's name in the emote, for maximum amusement. (The mod is smart about target names and the player's gender, modifying emotes to fit). Emotes and pull warnings can also be used via chat commands using each emote's abbreviation, for example "/ce LudicrousSpeed" or "/ce IKnowKungFu". You can do a random emotes by category by using the category name, for example, "/ce spaceballs".

You can also make a macro for "/ce pull" which will use a random pull warning each time, such as "Stay on target! Stay on target!" or "Not in the face, Coilfang Guardian! Not in the face!" Pull warnings will be said in Say, Party, or Raid chat as applicable, or as a raid warning if you are a raid assist (You can use "/ce pullnormal" to only use Say/Party/Raid chat).

If the tooltips that display the text of each emote are not displaying, they can be toggled using "/ce tooltips". This is because the mod uses the default dropdown menu tooltip system, and those are only displayed if the setting Interface Options: Help: Beginner Tooltips is turned on. Using "/ce tooltips" toggles this setting. Use "/ce reset" to reset the button's position in the game window.

I hope you find this mod useful and entertaining. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

=== Version history: ===

CustomEmotes 1.17 (WoW 3.3.0):
* Added emotes from Bill and Ted's Adventures. Most triumphant and non-heinous!
* Added more Spaceballs emotes. Adding these emotes is irreversible... like my raincoat!
* Added some general emotes. I remember you... in the mountains...

CustomEmotes 1.16 (WoW 3.1.2):
* Added emotes from UHF, the best movie ever about a public access cable channel, that by the way also stars Weird Al. Red snapper, very tasty!
* Enhanced many of the pull warnings.

CustomEmotes 1.15 (WoW 3.1.1):
* Added more Mystery Men emotes, since it really is the best movie ever. We've got a blind date with Destiny. And it looks like she's ordered the lobster.
* Also added a few more quotes for Batman and Office Space since they needed a few more. I'll get you another copy of that memo.

CustomEmotes 1.9 (WoW 3.0.2):
* Added a new command, "/ce pullnormal" which does a pull warning, but does not use raid warning mode, just party/raid chat.
* Updated pull warnings to be prefixed with "<Pull incoming!>" if they are not sent using raid warning, to help distinguish them from normal chat.
* Fixed a bug that broke some slash commands.
* Note that until patch 3.0.3, CustomEmotes may cause UI taint or dropdown menu errors. This is due to a confirmed bug in WoW's UI, mentioned in reply #1 of this thread: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11676470259

CustomEmotes 1.8 (WoW 3.0.2):
* Added emotes from Scooby Doo and the online web series The Guild. No relation.
* Updated the mod for Wrath of the Lich King, fixing the icon display error and the dropdown menu error.
* Added the command "/ce tooltips" in case the tooltips weren't displaying. This uses the setting Interface Options: Help: Beginner Tooltips, which also controls whether dropdown menu tooltips are displayed.

CustomEmotes 1.7 (WoW 2.4.3):
* Added emotes from the Austin Powers movies.
* Added the ability to do a random emote by category, using the category name, as in "/ce ghostbusters".

CustomEmotes 1.4 (WoW 2.4.3):
* Added X-Files emotes.
* Updated many emotes to use "his" or "her" instead of "their" when referring to the player.
* Fixed Mystery Men emotes category. By the way, this is the best movie ever, go watch it.

CustomEmotes 1.3 (WoW 2.4.3):
* Changed pull warnings: now will use raid warnings if in a party, or if you are a raid assist.
* Added emotes from The Blues Brothers and Finding Nemo.

CustomEmotes 1.2 (WoW 2.4.3):
* Initial public release.

CustomEmotes 1.17 (WoW 3.3.0):
* Added emotes from Bill and Ted's Adventures. Most triumphant and non-heinous!
* Added more Spaceballs emotes. Adding these emotes is irreversible... like my raincoat!
* Added some general emotes. I remember you... in the mountains...

Originally posted by Wikwocket As I posted lower in this page, a Titan panel button is a possibility, but I don't use Titan myself and I didn't see an easy way to make a button for it without rebuilding the menus. Given that my time is short and I'd rather add new features to my mods, it's a 'maybe' at this point, unless someone familiar with Titan would like to code a patch or point me to a similar Titan button.

Any chance to get a Titan button for it to replace the floating button?

The mod creates a floating button. By default it is just to the left of the top of the chat log/combat log. It should always be shown. A function to show/hide the button, and a function to reset its position, are on my To Do list.

Originally posted by Wikwocket I have fixed the bug, and added a few requested features in the latest version. A Titan panel button is a possibility but I don't use Titan myself and all my other mods need some more attention this month. We'll see.

Originally posted by Wikwocket I apologize for the lack of updates. I had several other mods to get ready, and I had hoped that this simple mod would survive the 3.0 transition. But now that the patch has hit I will try to get it working again, and I will add some more categories and emotes too.

And FYI, you can still use it via "Load Out of date" but the CE button itself is fucked.
